War comparison



The movie the patriot and the book April morning are not so different. The setting is there both fighting the same war and in the same time period. Both of the main characters take a risk to save what could be there soon to be future and country.

In the patriot Ben left because he knows how to lead men into battle and inspire them to never give up so he was a good asset. Ben was more of a mature a smart person in war because he had been in war himself and learned the ways of how brutal it really is. Benjamin did not want to go to war and has a lot to lose so it is hard leaving his family alone when the battle field is not too far away and no one to protect them.

In April morning cooper left to go to war early because even though he worked hard all the time his parents didn’t accept him for who he was so he took any chance possible to leave them and he was already planning to go to war anyway to prove himself. Cooper is young and naïve and doesn’t have any experience in war so it will take a toll on him in a lot of different situations.  Cooper really doesn’t have anything to lose and so it is not a big deal to him leaving his family behind.

When it comes to who will most likely end up not surviving the war it will be cooper, but that really doesn’t matter for him because he has already been planning this for a while and he has no one to come home to after the war. Ben on the other hand will do anything to stay alive and keep the rest of his family alive because two of his sons, his daughter and brother and law, and his wife have all died and know he only has a couple children which he intends to keep alive.
